First day of school

Today is a happy day, a sad day, and a quiet day. Today is the first day of school. We were excited before we got there, ready to go and meet new friends. Once we got there, we were a little nervous and there were a few tears shed (mostly by Aaliyah who was the least ready for the boys to go back). And now it is so quiet in here with just Aaliyah and me this is going to take some getting used to! I asked Aaliyah if she misses "her boys" (for those who didn't know, that is how she refers to her brothers) and she looked at me and said "terrible." A few minutes later, she put her shoes on and said that we had to leave and go get them. Good thing we have Nick Jr. to distract her. Here is my handsome crew just before we left.




Good luck at your new school, boys. You'll do great!!!

It's been a few days since the first day of school, Susan. I'm not offically bashing you about how long it's been since your last posting but, let's just say it's been a while. It's probably almost Aaliyah's first day of school by now. Is Brandon getting ready for 5th grade field day? OK, so I'm just kidding but, I will be checking back soon. Hopefully, I'll see some great new pics of the kids :)
